ATI PN nursing care of children 2020 with NGN II ( 63 Questions)

A nurse is preparing to collect a blood specimen from a preschooler. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?



Correct Answer: A

Choice A reason:

Using a pacifier dipped in an oral sucrose solution can help provide comfort and alleviate pain during the procedure, making it a suitable option for blood specimen collection in preschoolers.

Choice B reason:

Applying a eutectic mixture of local anesthetics cream may not be the most appropriate option for blood specimen collection in preschoolers, as it may not provide sufficient pain relief for the procedure.

Choice C reason:

Kangaroo care involves skin-to-skin contact between an infant and a parent, which is beneficial for bonding and comfort but may not be directly applicable to a blood specimen collection procedure.

Choice D reason:

Placing the infant in a prone position for sleeping is not related to blood specimen collection and may not be appropriate immediately postoperatively.
